Alexander was but a mere foot soldier in terms of his abilities, and yet the opponent he faced was no less than a Ghost King!
Throughout the grand hall, not a soul, save Edward, had anticipated that the situation would turn so taut with tension.
Incensed by Alexander—or perhaps seeking to make a show for the crowd—Alaric deployed his unique talent: Nightfall. This was a most extraordinary and terrifying power.
Harnessing ghost energies, he enveloped himself in a space of darkness, a genuine pocket realm. While it was small, anyone stepping into it would be completely cut off from the external world. This talent may not have been as stunning as Edward's, but it was petrifying nonetheless.
Alaric's display of his talent was mere theater; his true objective was to settle matters with Tony standing nearby. Even if he couldn't kill him outright, crippling him would suffice.
